"[D]eserves careful reading by all who are in any way seeking to understand the modern day challenges of evil. . . . I recommend this book. Its ultimate concern shines through to be pastoral and practical rather than merely satisfying philosophically."
Rodney Stent, The Lamplighter, November 2008
"It is helpful to find an author who pushes readers toward a better understanding of evil instead of rushing to provide answers for why evil happens."
Myka Kennedy Stephens, Congregational Libraries Today, May/June 2008
"Like all . . . Wright's works that I have so far read, this one is quite lucid and enjoyable to read."
Bryan, www.zealfortruth.org, January 8, 2008
"[A] very practical and thought-provoking composition that addresses the challenges and inherent connection between evil and the justice of God within both a postmodern Western context and a Judeo-Christian context."
Fitzroy Willis in The Pneuma Review, Spring 2008
"Wright effectively phrases the believer's questions about such issues and recalls the foundations of faith that sustain one in the midst of suffering and ambiguity."
Donald Senior, www.bibletoday.com, May/June 2008
"Wright takes a complex subject and in his usual delightful way provides a readable, stimulating, and profound account. . . . It will help equip believers with a biblical worldview on a matter which directly concerns us all."
Jeff Robertson for Stone-Campbell Journal, Fall 2007
"[A]n important and refreshing treatment of the problem of evil. . . . [A] gem for any pastor or theologically interested lay person."
David Loy, Concordia Journal, July 2008
"N. T. Wright is one of the most influential thinkers in today's church, and his book helps us better understand why evil exists and points us to a day when it will be ultimately defeated. Wright's discussion of the power of the cross makes this excellent reading for pastors."
PreachingNOW newsletter, January 29, 2008
"Bishop Wright inspires us. . . . All Christians can benefit from this well-written book."
George R. Carson for Religious Studies Review, April 2007
"The book is well written and easy to read. Wright's purpose is outlined from the beginning and is consistent throughout, providing a practical solution to the problem of evil. We are indebted to Wright for his contribution to this difficult subject of theodicy. An excellent tool for theologians and religion teachers as the book comes to grips with the reality of evil."
Augustin Tchamba, Seminary Studies, Andrews University, Autumn 2008
